Another TT just around the corner and so too another Roads Closed Exhibition.
The 2011
event was a great success and we at roadracingsupporters would like to repeat
that success if not improve upon it. Work has already begun and plans are fairly
advanced already. The venue, St. Ninian’s, is booked, the display boards and
equipment are all in place save for one or two items.
Last
year we were able to make donations to the Rob Vine Fund, S100 &
MGPSC Helicopter Funds totalling £2,700! And that's just from the
exhibition. When we add in the 2011 Calendar and a few other bits and
pieces that we picked up out total for the year soared to a magnificent
£7,000. Not bad eh?
We
always expressed a wish that the collective fund raising efforts to
which you have all contributed would continue beyond 2011 and into 2012.
That aspiration is certainly being met in this current year. The 2012
Calendar and other fund raising, I won't go into details here , have so
far achieved much more than our expectations. Donations this year exceed
£5,250 to date. Would it be too optimistic to expect that we can exceed last years total? I think not, with your help that is.
Are
you up for it again? The terms and conditions will be much the same as
last year in regard to the funding of the prints and mounts. Nothing has
changed there. I will most likely use DS Colour labs once again for the
printing and I'll source mounts at the best possible price. I'd
estimate that an 18 x 12 mounted print will cost less than £5, hopefully
a lot less, and a 12 x 8 considerably less. I personally intend to have
a couple of canvases on display too this year. Is it an option you'd
consider? A larger order may bring the individual prices down.
There will be some new exhibitors at this year's exhibition
to join the regulars and some new features. We're already ahead of the
game and we've worked harder at getting the publicity and advertising
right this time. Plus we've been sucking up to the right folk too LOL.
